Happy Blogiversary!

1 year ago today I began this blog!

I wasn’t sure I’d be able to stick
through it long-term, but I’m glad I did. It has been interesting learning new
things along the way. I like how it keeps me motivated to do the things I love.
I also like seeing who is following my blog, where they are from, and what seems
to interest them most.

Here are some notes of interest as a
result of blogging for the past year:

This is my 165th post.

So far, my modest following has resulted in more than 6,400 page views.

Most of my readers coming from Canada, with the U.S.A . and Russia being next in line.

This week I’ve also had visitors from the U.K., Latvia, Germany, South Korea and the Ukraine.

People seem to find me most often via Ravelry, Facebook, Google and the DisBoards.

My most favourite phrase that people have searched on to find my site is “how to dye a dog with kool aid” (seriously, that phrase has been used 4 different times to find my site)

My most visited post is the Beaded Ornament post, which started the wreath making frenzy of last year.

Thank you to everyone who has stopped
by my blog to read my ramblings. Your site visits make me happy and your
comments amuse me.I hope to continue
working on this blog for at least one more year, so please keep stopping by. Feel
free to leave comments and send me feedback whenever something comes to mind.

A little about me...

I'm an avid knitter and professionally trained designer, based in Toronto, Canada. I draw on a wide variety of influences for inspiration in the design of colourwork mittens. At any given time, I'd rather be knitting. Find me on Etsy at https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/JanetWelshKnits, or on Ravelry at https://www.ravelry.com/designers/janet-welsh-knits.

A little about this blog...

This blog is a past project designed to showcase some of the things I was making, while learning the art of blogging. While no longer an active blog, I have left it up in case people want to explore some of my past thoughts and projects.
